least twice more in Port St. Lucie this week, then he

He may have been barely awake after a redeye flight from Moscow but Sachin Siwach probably didnt mind the attention he was receiving in New Delhi on Monday. As only the third Indian - and the first in six years -- to win a gold medal at the Youth Boxing World Championships, it was deserved.So the 17-year-old, who had claimed the 49-kg light flyweight title in St. Petersburg on Saturday, darted from one to another. He collected a Rs.1 lakh cheque from the new boxing federation chief, and posed for pictures with the Sports Minister Vijay Goel. On Tuesday in his village of Mithathal, near Bhiwani another ceremony has been planned.All this might have seemed very unlikely at the start of the year when Siwach missed a national level youth tournament that had been organized to select talent for a national camp ahead of the Asian youth championships.As the gold medallist and best boxer at the Haryana State Championships, Siwach had expected to participate and likely dominate the national tournament in Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh. However a severe bout of typhoid fever meant those plans came to nothing.With the Indian boxing federation alternatively in a state of limbo or non-existent for the last four years, tournaments of any kind were few and far between. Siwach might well have lost his chance for selection to the camp if it wasnt for the fact that he had been one of the regular performers at both the domestic and international level. Siwach, who has not lost a bout at the national level since the 2011 sub-juniors (where he lost in the quarterfinals), had won a bronze medal at the 2015 world junior championships.It was that previous international win that convinced the selectors to include him in the national camp at Aurangabad. Siwach hadnt yet recovered completely from his illness when he took part in the selection trials for the Asian Championships. He beat amongst others the winner of the national tournament in Bhimavaram (incidentally the same boxer he had beaten to claim the Haryana state title) to qualify for the Kazakhstan tournament.Siwach was still feeling the effects of his illness at Pavlodar. While he usually had to cut 2-3 kilos to make weight, he was a kilo under the limit of the lightest of weight divisions at the Asian Championships. He would lose in the quarterfinals 2-1 to the home boxer who would go on to win the tournament.I was very weak going into the tournament but I was still very sad that I lost. Four of my teammates won medals (three silver and one bronze) and I had returned empty handed, Siwach said. He would get his chance at the World Youth Championships. With no illness hampering his training, Siwach got three months of training at the Hawa Singh Academy in Bhiwani. It wasnt as if the academy is flush with facilities .Bahut dikkat hoti hai (its is very difficult), says Siwach of the stable where 150 odd boxers train on a makeshift rings made of stones and ropes. But what the Hawa Singh Academy lacks in resources it more than makes up for in results. The girls from the academy have regularly been in the news.Pooja Rani and Saweety Boora have won medals at the Asian Championships while another two - Neeraj and Jyoti - had won gold and silver respectively at the recently concluded National Womens championships in Haridwar. At the World Championships in St. Petersburg, Siwach had no easy fight. He faced junior world champion Cosmin Girleanu of Romania in the pre-quarters and Cubas Jose Grinan in the final.However Siwach claims his hardest fight was in the quarterfinal against little heralded Cheng-yu Hsu of Chinese Taipei. It was in my mind. I was desperate to beat him because I knew if I did, I had a medal. If I lost against him, all my effort till then would have been a waste, he says. The bout with the Taipei boxer was indeed the closest of Siwachs bouts - he took a narrow 3-2 split decision.There were no nerves, only clinical boxing in the dominant 5-0 wins against Girleanu and Grinan. Siwach says he would shoot videos of the two opponents and send them to Sanjay Sheoran - his coach at Bhiwani. Sheoran - incidentally, the son of the legendary Hawa Singh would then plan out a course of action.The plan was simple.At 58 Siwach is easily amongst the tallest boxers in his division and enjoys a significant reach advantage. All he had to do was never to get involved in close in fighting. He needed to punch from range and keep moving. He didnt need to throw a lot of combination. Lead with a left jab and then follow with the right cross and left hook, says Sheoran. And while stick and move sounds simple enough, tactics are often forgotten in the heat of the ring. Siwach despite his age was able to stick to his strategy.He has a very cool head. He is a very technical boxer. He doesnt take a lot of pressure but is able to focus when he has to, says G Manoharan, chief coach at the youth national camp and who accompanied the team to St. Petersburg. A clear mind is just one of the many gifts, Manoharan believes Siwach possess.He has light bones, says Manoharan. That means he has a major height and reach advantage over his opponents in light flyweight. If he wants he can even move up to flyweight (52kg) or even bantamweight (56kg) and still have the reach advantage, says Manoharan. Siwach isnt moving from light flyweight any time soon though. From the highs of winning the world title, Siwach will soon find himself in less rarefied settings when he prepares for his next tournament - the youth nationals - in Delhi in December.I will probably take a couple of days off and then I will be back training, he says. His goals are higher. I want to compete at the 2020 Olympics. It is the youth boxers who will come of age at Tokyo. I think it will be my chance then, he says confidently.

The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow says hes just trying to get better each day in the New York Mets instructional league.After two days, so far, so good.Tebow homered to right during batting practice on Tuesday, one day after the quarterback-turned-baseball-hopeful put three balls off the fence at the Mets training complex. A Mets staff member went behind the fence a few minutes later and returned with a baseball, though it wasnt clear if it was the actual one Tebow hit.Felt a little more comfortable with a day under my belt, just getting more used to everything, the preparations, said Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner from Florida and former NFL quarterback. All those silly things that you have to go through, right? Getting in the building, finding everything that you need, cafeteria, everything, and just getting used to the routine.The composition of the workout from Day 1 to Day 2 was similar. The atmosphere wasnt -- the media contingent was considerably smaller than it was on Monday, and maybe about one-quarter as many fans showed up as the day before.Then again, plenty of people welcomed Tebow to Port St. Lucie when he made a Target run on Monday night. He said he needed supplies, specifically drinks and almonds.Whether its five people or 500 people, you cant let that bother you, the size of the crowd or what people are saying or the hype or no hype, Tebow said. I just try not to get involved at all and just try not to pay attention at all and focus on being a basebaall player.ddddddddddddHes also finding time to stay on top of his other job as an analyst with the SEC Network, with time management not an issue. Tebow will work out at least twice more in Port St. Lucie this week, then head to the Auburn-LSU game this weekend before returning to the Mets complex.When instructional league games start, Tebow expects to play -- though theres no firm plan yet for what will happen after these three weeks, such as whether hell go to the Arizona Fall League. For now, he said hes trying to take advantage of every opportunity to meet with coaches, talking situational play in the outfield and the Mets preferred approach to hitting.The goal of Tuesdays batting practice session, Tebow said, was to find outfield gaps. He just managed to hit one a little farther, saying he felt more comfortable with additional preparation and warmup time.Not necessarily the goal, Tebow said of the homer. But if you do it, thats good, too.Game notes Tebow was asked if he had any thoughts on Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers and others taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem. He said hed keep his thoughts to himself on the issue. When people have belief in something or conviction about something, I think trying to stand for that is a good thing. And then its all about trying to stand for it the right way, Tebow said. ' ' '
